As a mom who has 3 children and has recently had a house fire...
I think the advice of dont stress is GREAT! the photo album is fantastic too, as well as all the other ideas. Something you may not realize though is that she may need a little bit of alone time to let everything out. I dont know if you are staying in a hotel or what but if you are staying out side the home, clean up any messes. Its one less thing she has to do. Take care of Dinner. Anything you can do that she doesnt have to deal with will be a huge help. Im sure she is being overwhelmed with people who care asking questions, making decisions, and sorting thru the mess the fire has left. But most of all..... Hug her and be thankful that you are still together.

You know what would be really sweet, Gather up lots of copies of family pictures from friends and other family and make a big album of all her favourite photo's for her, I assume you lost everything in the fire but even if you didn't it will still make her smile =)...
Just be really good and keep telling her everything will be okay, Best wishes.. I hope you both have some goodluck soon.
P.S Writing letters is a fantastic idea, You'll be surprised how much your community will help you out and i'm sure your mom will be very proud!

Hey i am only 11 but i can hook u up on some advice. Tell your mom about what u like about your new home. Tell her to do meditation. That works. Or try to convince her that the burned house u used to live wasn't that good and she should focus and the future. Not the past.

If you really want to help your Mom Make her a card and let her know she will always have you and your love. You and your love is something she can not live without, everything else can be replaced. For mother's day my son gave me a comfort jar, in it is several papers that each give reasons why he loves me. It makes me feel good to read the little things in life that I do to make him happy.
Writing letters sounds like a great idea. If you do that and it works out for you your mother will be so happy and very proud of you for all your love and work. Sorry and good luck!

time will make her feel better all you can really do right now is to be her friend and do everything she asks you to do and spend lots of quality time with her, don;t talk about the sad things like your house, give her lots of hugs and kisses and when ever she cries or talks about how sad she is just tell her that it all going to be okay and that you love her and don;t be sad with her that won't help much.
attitudes are contagious so if you are happy and smiling all the time and you have a positive attitude she will start to feel better as well.
I'm sorry about your house hope everything works out for you and your mom.
GOOD LUCK!!

I am so sorry about your house.
You seem to be a very mature 13 year old to be so concerned about your mom instead of your own stuff. I commend you for that.
You can help your mom just by being there with her and letting her know that you are available for whatever tasks she asks of you.
I know you want to make it all better, but this is a situation that has to managed by adults and you must not feel responsible for what you can not control.
God bless you and your family.

I am so sorry honey. Just remember that no matter how bad it is.... I bet just having you there and not having to plan for a funeral is a gift that you could not understand at this point in your life..... Just be good and tell your mom that if she ever needs a friend that you will always be there as she has been there for you. Hugs are always a nice gift to give and are free to give and get. And remember if God doesn't give us a reason to cry, how can we know what happiness is? Good luck honey and God bless you and your mom......

Do what she asks and don't argue. If you're really worried about her mental state, talk to a teacher or school counselor, or a close relative or family friend.
Contact Habitat for Humanity and explain to them your situation. Get in touch with Extreme Makeover- Home Edition.
But most of all, Continue to be a good, caring kid.

Give her a hug. Tell her you love her. Do this every day. That's the best thing that can happen to a mom or dad.
Ask you mom what you can do to help. If you do laundry, dishes, and keep things picked up so your mom doesn't have to worry about these things, it will help a lot.

You can help by just being there with her and for her. The house, the clothes, the knick-knacks, etc can all be replaced from a store. Being there for her will remind her that the best things in life are not replaced from shopping at walmart. Your time is the best thing you can do to help her! Best wishes!
